Police Report: Zimmerman Took Photos at House

Investigators are hoping video from the iPad will allow them to determine if charges should be filed.

Hudson told a news conference Wednesday that law enforcement analysts are having difficulty extracting the video because the iPad is in “bad shape.”

He said because investigators don’t currently have the necessary tools to extract the video, it could be several weeks or months before the video can be analyzed — and even then they aren’t making any promises. The iPad’s chip also suffered some damage, Hudson said.

Without an examination of the video, he said he doesn’t expect there to be imminent charges against either person.

Lake Mary is about seven miles southwest of Sanford, where George Zimmerman, 29, fatally shot unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin during a fight last year. Zimmerman, who identifies himself as Hispanic, was acquitted in July of all charges in the shooting.

On Tuesday, police released a dash cam video showing George Zimmerman being handcuffed after the dispute. In the video, officers ordered Zimmerman to put his hands up and drop to his knees. One officer approaches with his gun drawn while another handcuffs Zimmerman.

Mark O’Mara, who represented George Zimmerman in his murder trial, said on Monday that his client did nothing wrong and the dispute was typical for a couple going through a divorce. On Tuesday, O’Mara said he was not going to represent George Zimmerman in this matter.

“I’ve come to know them as a family, and it’s not a good idea to get in between them,” O’Mara said.

Shellie Zimmerman, 26, filed for divorce last week. She and her husband separated a month after he was acquitted July 13 in the fatal shooting of 17-year-old Martin in a gated community in Sanford.

Zimmerman said he acted in self-defense when he shot Martin in February 2012. He wasn’t charged until 44 days after the shooting, leading to protests nationwide from people who believed he should have been immediately arrested.
